Pot is a jail management tool that also supports orchestration through Nomad. Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and Pot (and potentially one day also Podman) what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of container descriptions and complete container images for usage with Pot and in many cases Nomad.
During this quarter, there were two bugfixes to Pot that will be released soon.
Potluck images saw some updates again. All images have been rebuilt again to include the latest fixes and quarterly packages. Additionally, some images like Loki or Vault have also received additional updates and bugfixes.
Also, we have done some research regarding potential future support of OCI, Buildah and Podman images in Potluck. Two blog posts, one describing a basic Buildah and Podman setup and one describing how to orchestrate Podman containers with Nomad and Consul have been published.
As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
